Ameterasu? I hardly know you!

Okami HD will arrive for PS4, Xbox One and Steam on December 12.

The remaster and its release date were leaked last month - but we now know the game will come PS4 Pro and Xbox One X compatibility, allowing for 4K visuals across all three platforms. Here's a new trailer:

Players can choose between the original 4:3 aspect ration, or a modernised widescreen, and the original version's interactive loading screens (and the bonus items for interacting with them) are also included.

The game will be released physically and digitally, with the latter priced at £15.99 / $19.99 USD (about R275.00).

The game - which has players controlling the goddess Amaterasu in wolf form, and literally painting life back into the world - is regarded as a modern classic. We awarded its last re-release a 9.4, saying it "represents a pure, resolutely Japanese vision, and is all the more appealing for it.".
